  1. no, restoring those systems won't cost that machine unless its IT dept were total idiots.

  2. leave Burger King alone, the deep fried fries taste better

  3. Re:Really? on Intel: We 'Forgot' To Mention 28-Core, 5GHz CPU Demo Was Overclocked (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    well IBM power8 has 5GHz chip, what's Intel's problem

  4. Yeah they were probably internet attached using Windows 7 Pro instead of the much more secure Windows 10 Enterprise

  5. Re:bad idea on Oath is Killing Off Yahoo Messenger on July 17 (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    wrong, they want a replacement that can actually make money; they are smart to dump this money sewer. note no one uses an AC on slashdot's opinion to build a profitable business.

  6. nope, inflation adjusted total is 1.32 trillion, a bargain

    "According to the Office of Management and Budget and the Air Force Almanac, when measured in real terms (adjusted for inflation in today's current-value dollars), the total, cumulative figure to date would equal $1.32 trillion, an average of $22.03 billion per year over its sixty-year history. NASA's 2018 budget is $19.100 billion in 2018 dollars -- roughly equal to NASA's 1963 budget of $2.55 billion." -- wikipedia, Budget of NASA

  7. Re:we need to build stuff like that on Netherlands Will Welcome Its First Community of 3D-Printed Homes (smithsonianmag.com) · · Score: 1

    depends on the wind loading the structure could bear, and effects of "missiles" (air borne debris not weapons)...one 3D home builder I see claims fine under wind loading of 120 MPH...which would be more than enough where I live but bad for hurricane or tornado prone area

    we have Republic to protect us from California, thankfully

  9. Except AMD will have nothing performance wise to offer even with this delay. bang for buck, yes, but CPU cost is tiny thing to businesses that buy servers

  10. Re: How surprising,... on Suicide Rates Are Up 30 Percent Since 1999, CDC Says (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    internet and social media allow people to imagine crisis such as this "increased suicide rate" that isn't there and whine about it to each other, but other than that not seeing relevance

  11. Re:Try using less oil fucktards on Sucking CO2 From Air Is Cheaper Than Scientists Thought (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    you wouldn't be alive, have a computer, or be on the internet without fossil fuel use, hypocrite.

    do these users generate money? if not the thing should have been killed years ago

  13. Re: How surprising,... on Suicide Rates Are Up 30 Percent Since 1999, CDC Says (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 2

    Quit whining and look at a graph of say the 1900 onward. Someone picked a year with a dip to invent fake news. The suicide rate had been going up and down and up again, so picking the recent minimum as a start date makes something that resonates with the made-up head canon you have. Meanwhile nothing out of the ordinary is happening

  14. Re:Day late and a dollar short on Shady ICO Issuers Are Taking 'Bags of Cash' To Border, US Says (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    only stupid people fell for them. just like only stupid people *invest* in bitcoin. serves them right

  15. so you're out of touch with how most people do computing, perhaps even while sitting at your gamer rig.... sounds like a first world problem

  16. no, the tech alone from space exploration has made trillions in wealth and saved lives. fantastic investment

    watching the channel obviously. Space travel is dangerous and maims the body with radiation.

    nonsense, 911 centers do locate cell phones. in some situations the location may not be exact, but that happens with VOIP calls too.

  19. Re:hahaha "even 911 calls" on A Nationwide Comcast Landline Outage is Affecting Thousands of Businesses (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    no. wrong.

    If you actually read the article, the police put out a message saying customers wouldn't be able to reach 911 center if they had comcast voip, to use cell phone instead.

    wow, you swallow the sensationalism hook, line and sinker. hope you have a good spam and ad blocker so you don't go bankrupt believing the B.S. you'd read.

  20. "you're not thinking 4th dimensionally, Marty" -- Dr. Brown

    but suppose part of the compromising of systems also renders the pilot unconscious or immobile before he can override AP?

  21. and suppose part of the nefarious plan is to incapacitate the pilot, which can be done by subverting certain systems?

  22. spending on increasing scientific knowledge and advancing engineering is not a wrong.

  24. post quantum crypto! on Microsoft Adds Post-Quantum Cryptography To an OpenVPN Fork (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    what a stupid pandering meaningless sound-bite.

    it is not known that any current crypto is unbreakable by quantum computing.

  25. you're hilarious, we're spending trillions attacking people that didn't attack us and you're worried about that 18 billion?

    we all pay taxes, we only need to spend a tiny bit less on stupid shit.
